The rise of programmatic audio

Once considered a peripheral extra in the digital media campaign ecosystem, digital programmatic audio has been gaining traction since mid-2020, attracting new brands and capitalising on the meteoric growth of digital audio in recent years (podcasts, audiobooks, Internet radio, music and playlists). Advertisers are finding a historic opportunity here to gain granularity in reaching their core target audience, in a way that no other medium could reach before.

Advertisers have long been reluctant to invest in programmatic audio due to the lack of options. This is an area where Targetspot’s ambitions are clearly defined, as Henuzet confirms: “We are a pioneer and we want to drive programmatic audio forward by creating a collaborative, agile campaign process that involves all stakeholders (for example: a meta-SSP). We have the tools to identify the moments that matter through audio signals. Ultimately, we can enrich our programmatic offering not only in audio, but also in video games.”

Publishers can now sell their audio inventory via private marketplaces, guaranteed programmatic deals or the open market, in addition to direct deals. “The DSPs are connected to the major audio SSPs and new features are planned in the programmatic roadmap for each stakeholder,” enthuses Targetspot’s new Operations Director.
